I get 3r on both deb and gentoo:

:; lsof /dev/random 
COMMAND  PID       USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
sks     xxx6 debian-sks    3r   CHR    1,8      0t0 1032 /dev/random
sks     xxx7 debian-sks    3r   CHR    1,8      0t0 1032 /dev/random

:; lsof /dev/random 
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
sks     xxxx1  sks    3r   CHR    1,8      0t0 1032 /dev/random
sks     xxxx2  sks    3r   CHR    1,8      0t0 1032 /dev/random
